(ANSA) – BARI, MARCH 13 – In Bari the illegal occupations of public housing could have “the support of systematically organized criminal individuals or even directors in the assignments”. The local police of the Apulian capital is convinced of this and is carrying out checks on illegal occupations of municipal housing or properties owned by Arca Puglia, the ‘Regional Agency for housing and living’. In 2021, 69 crime reports for illegal occupations of public housing were sent to the judicial authorities, with 91 people reported and almost half of the occupied housing immediately released and returned to the assignees or the owner body.

The last episode dates back to a few days ago. The judicial police unit of municipal agents managed to recover a five-room apartment in the Japigia district, which a 30-year-old – later reported – had illegally occupied, despite the fact that the property was already occupied by an elderly regular assignee, temporarily a guest of the children her.

The occupation took place by breaking the armored entrance door with a blowtorch and flexible cutting disc, “to attest – says the local police – that this kind of illegal activity often does not occur with an improvised action by desperate people but only thanks to the delinquent support, not disinterested, of other subjects professionally dedicated to such illegal actions “.

The recovered apartment was entrusted to Arca Puglia who proceeded to assign it to a needy family, as the elderly assignee communicated the renouncement because she was taken care of by her family, “but probably – the investigators point out – also frightened by the events delinquent “. (HANDLE).
